Bug#815807: cups: printing on printers broadcast by old CUPS versions fails

[Patrick Welche <prlw1@cam.ac.uk>]

Package: cups
Version: 2.1.3-1
Severity: normal

I just reproduced this, admittedly between ubuntu rather than vanilla debian
boxen, so it sounds like a real cups problem.

"Old" cups is 1.4.3
"New" cups is 2.1.3

extract of /etc/cups/printers.conf on old:

<Printer ufs2>
DeviceURI socket://...
...
Accepting Yes
Shared Yes

on new, presumably having cups-browsed it:

<Printer ufs2>
DeviceURI implicitclass:ufs2
...
Accepting Yes
Shared No


So, apparently no longer shared... (is that right?)

  Rejecting job because "ufs2" is not shared

quick round of lpadmin later, changed
to Shared Yes, and thereafter

held since "No suitable destination host found by cups-browsed."

Cheers,

Patrick
